This review is part of the programme of reviews being conducted under the Local Government (Democracy) (Wales) Act 2013, and follows the principles contained in the Commission’s Policy and Practice document. The issue of fairness is at the heart of the Commission’s statutory responsibilities. The Commission’s objective has been to make recommendations that provide for effective and convenient local government, and which respect, as far as possible, local community ties. The recommendations are aimed at improving electoral parity, so that the vote of an individual elector has as equal a value to those of other electors throughout the County, so far as it is possible to achieve. The Commission is grateful to the Members and Officers of Conwy County Borough Council for their assistance in its work, to the community and town councils for their valuable contributions, and to all who have made representations throughout the process.

INTRODUCTION 1. The Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales (the Commission) has conducted a review of the electoral arrangements of the County Borough of Conwy. This review was conducted in accordance with the Local Government (Democracy) (Wales) Act 2013 (the Act), specifically Sections 29, 30 and 34-36. 2. Pursuant to the Act, the Commission has completed the review of the electoral arrangements for the County Borough of Conwy and presents its final recommendations for future electoral arrangements. 3. This programme of reviews has come as a result of the former Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government’s Written Statement of 23 June 2016, where the Commission was asked to restart its programme of reviews, with an expectation that all 22 electoral reviews be completed in time for the new arrangements to be put in place for the 2022 local government elections. The Written Statement can be found at Appendix 6. 4. The rules and procedures the Commission follows can be found in the Commission’s Electoral Reviews: Policy and Practice [2016] and outlined in Appendix 4. A Glossary of Terms can be found at Appendix 1, providing a short description of some of the common terminology used within this report. 5. Section 35 of the Act lays down the procedural guidelines which are to be followed in carrying out a review. In compliance with Section 35 the Commission wrote to Conwy County Borough Council, all the community and town councils in the area, the mandatory consultees and other interested parties on 25 May 2017 to inform them of our intention to conduct the review and request their preliminary views. This consultation ran from 2 June 2017 to 24 August 2017. The Commission also made copies of its Electoral Reviews: Policy and Practice [2016] document available. 6. The Commission published its Draft Proposals Report on 28 March 2018 and requested views on the proposals. This consultation ran from 3 April 2018 to 25 June 2018. 7. The Commission publicised the review on its website and social media channels and asked Conwy County Borough Council to publicise the review and provided the Council with a number of public notices to display. These were also provided to the community and town councils in the area. In addition, the Commission made a presentation to county, and town and community councillors to explain the review process and the Commission’s policies. The County Borough Council was invited to submit a suggested scheme for new electoral arrangements. Page 1 CONWY FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS REPORT Chapter 2. THE SUMMARY OF THE DRAFT PROPOSALS 1. Prior to the formulation of the draft proposals, the Commission received representations from Conwy County Borough Council, seven town and community councils and one County Borough Councillor. 2. Conwy County Borough Council outlined their concerns with the Commission’s approach to the review (which can be seen in full in the Commission’s Draft Proposals Report, March 2018). They expressed concerns about the Commission’s Council Size Policy and the category they are placed in. 3. The Council Size Policy that is being applied in this review uses the latest published data which determines that Conwy is placed in category three. The policy was set by the Commission at the start of its programme of reviews and it is appropriate that the same policy be applied across all reviews within the programme. 4. These representations were taken into consideration and summarised in the Draft Proposals Report published on 28 March 2018, informing the listed mandatory consultees and other interested parties of a period of consultation on the draft proposals which commenced on 3 April 2018 and ended on 25 June 2018. The Commission asked Conwy County Borough Council to display copies of the report alongside public notices in the area. The Commission’s draft proposals proposed a change to the arrangement of electoral wards that would have achieved a marked improvement in the level of electoral parity across the County Borough of Conwy. 5. The Commission proposed a council of 54 members. This resulted in a proposed county average of 1,655 electors per member. The Commission proposed 30 electoral wards, a reduction from 38 existing electoral wards. 6. The largest under-representation (in terms of electoral variance) was proposed to be in Llandrillo yn Rhos (21% above the proposed county average). At present the greatest under- representation is in Pensarn (30% above the proposed county average). 7. The largest over-representation (in terms of electoral variance) was proposed to be in Uwch Conwy (24% below the proposed county average). At present the greatest over- representation is in Gower (48% below the proposed county average). 8. The Commission proposed 18 multi-member wards in the County Borough consisting of 12 two-member electoral wards and six three-member electoral ward. 9. The Commission proposed no changes to 19 electoral wards. 10. The Commission proposed to have no split communities across the County Borough. Page 2 LOCAL DEMOCRACY AND BOUNDARY COMMISSION FOR WALES Chapter 3. SUMMARY OF FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS • The Commission received representations from Conwy County Borough Council, nine Community and town councils, one Assembly Member, three County Borough Councillors, and two members of the public in response to the Draft Proposals.

It is important that your Local Planning Authority (LPA) uses the pre-application process to inform itself about the application and gather information that will assist in the production of a Local Impact Report (LIR), written representations, and any Statement of Common Ground (SOCG). Adopting a proactive approach at this stage is likely to reduce the demand on the Authority’s resources during the examination stage. Further guidance on this matter can be found in the Inspectorate’s Procedural Guidance document (http://gov.wales/topics/planning/developcontrol/developments-of-national- significance/guidance/?lang=en). As you may be aware, it is the Inspectorate’s responsibility to publish details of the application when it has been submitted, and to write to those who may be affected by it. In view of this it would be extremely helpful if you were able to provide a list of people you would have notified, had the application been made directly to you, as soon as possible.

(formerly Caernarfonshire) NGR SH 759 722 Owners & Researchers : Frank Chambers & Jane Parry-Evans December 2012 © Crown copyright: Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales: Dating Old Welsh Houses: North West Wales Dendrochronology Project A report commissioned by The North West Wales Dendrochronology Project in partnership with The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments in Wales (RCAHMW). House History of Llanerch y Felin, Rowen Introduction Llanerch y Felin is reputed to be the oldest house in the village of Rowen. The Royal Commission on Ancient & Historical Monuments Vol (i) East dated the earliest parts of the house as being 1590. An extract from the volume is in the appendix. However research in the Cymryd papers has indicated that this date is either incorrect and or that there was an earlier house or houses on the same site. The earliest documented record of the property is in the Cymryd Papers in a lease dated 1565, held in Gwynedd Archives. An early photograph of the house indicates that there was a building to the West of the house. There was also evidence of an early building in the yard to Llanerch y Felin. Part constructed of stone this was in use as a garage/store until its demolition in 2011 to make way for a new entrance into the field. It is believed that this was once also a dwelling, and could be one of the two buildings referred to in the Cymryd lease.
